204
Q

What are the requirements for Aux pump operation when ARMED

A

In-flight
1) Left system pressure < 1500psi
2) Fluid in left system
3) Left system not hot
4) flap handle position doesn’t match flat position OR landing gear handle position doesn’t match gear position

A

Non-essential if on the ground and essential in-flight

209
Q

What is the indication that air inlet door has opened and APU is ready to start

A

A

10-30 minutes after shutdown to prevent over-servicing

211
Q

What is the purpose of APU load control valve

A

It opens to provide bleed air from APU while aircraft is on ground, as well as inflight if needed, for main engine start. It is controlled by APU BLEED AIR switch

212
Q

When is APU bleed air available

A

After APU reaches operating speed. If APU was started under cold conditions (i.e., EGT < 149°C), bleed air loading is delayed for 60 seconds unless attempting main engine start in-flight

213
Q

When selecting APU BLEED AIR switch to ON during ground operations, what valve opens in addition to the load control valve

A

Isolation valve

214
Q

A

Amber Cowl Door Open annunciation appears on APU panel and ECU inhibits start while on the ground in order to protect engine cowl

215
Q

What function does ECU perform if APU limits are exceeded

A

It automatically shut down APU on ground (non-essential mode) and in some cases, in-flight (essential mode)

216
Q

Name things that occur when APU MASTER switch is selected to ON

A

ECU performs Power-up Built-In Test (PBIT), commands APU inlet door open, and commands APU fuel shut off valve open. NAV lights and left main fuel pump also turn 0N, and TROV opens

217
Q

What happens when APU MASTER switch is selected to OFF

A

Switch legend extinguishes, APU fuel shut off valve closes and APU, if running, immediately shuts down. Inlet door also begins to close

218
Q

What is the recommended action if APU amber FAULT light illuminates

A

Cycle MASTER and give it another try

219
Q

What is the significance of On legend in APU START / STOP switch

A

It indicates that starter is engaged or APU is running

220
Q

What happens when APU START / STOP switch is selected when APU is running 

A

APU load sheds and APU enters cool down mode. If on the ground and up to 20,000 feet, ECU decreases APU RPM on linear scale (1/2% per second) for 60 seconds (to 70% RPM), then shuts down APU. If above 20,000 feet, ECU maintains APU RPM for 60 seconds, then shuts down APU

221
Q

What happens if APU START switch is depressed at any time during 60 second cool down.

A

APU is commanded to 100% RPM

222
Q

What is the quickest way to shutdown APU

A

Anytime APU MASTER switch is selected off, APU immediately shut down (APU fuel shutoff valve commanded closed)

223
Q

When does APU generator come online

A

When APU reaches operating speed

224
Q

Why does APU GEN switch indicate amber on

A

It represents abnormal in-flight condition

225
Q

What is the difference between essential and non-essential

A

In nonessential mode, there are many conditions which would cause ECU to shut down the APU. If this were to occur, cool down mode is bypassed, APU’s Fuel shutoff valve is closed, and APU shuts down immediately. When in essential mode (In-flight), some protective shutdowns are disabled to allow continued operation

226
Q

What happens if APU is operating in essential mode after landing

A

APU continues to assume aircraft is in essential mode until AP master switch is selected off (or 15 min has elapsed)

227
Q

What does an amber APU essential CAS message indicate

A

It means it hasn’t shut down for one of the malfunctions that would have caused shut down on ground. Do not shut down if you need it because a subsequent start may be inhibited. If you don’t need it, shut it down promptly

228
Q

GVII uses fly-by-wire technology. How does it work

A

Pilot inputs are read by a computer that intern decides how to move control services to best achieve what the pilot wants
